Kris chose a cool new birthday outfit (skirt and sweater) from M&S and an amber bracelet that we found in Bath. I decided in the middle of the night that I would like to prepare a proper English tea for her. So I took the 52 bus to Sainsbury's; grabbed some flowers and a few ingredients; came home and served up some cucumber sandwiches; smoked salmon, creamed cheese, and dill sandwiches; scones with clotted cream and jam; a cream cake; and black currant tea. It was spiffing.
This afternoon I arranged to have Chantel, Tina and Tony's daughter, give her a massage. She gave Kris a foot massage as well.
At dinner she received a huge chocolate birthday cake, a chorus of Happy Birthday to You, and three rousing cheers. Gifts and remembrances have been coming in all day from faculty and students.
We finished the day with a window-shopping trip to Kensington High Street with the Ringers and Bartons.
There have been calls, electronic well wishes from home, pictures of Winnie from Ann and Uncle, and an a final email from Katy in WA. So all in all it has been a pretty good day.
